An airport official says a squabble between two聽flight聽attendants聽forced a United Airlines聽flight聽bound for Chicago to return to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin says聽Flight聽1214 left Raleigh at 6 a.m. Wednesday. She says a call from the pilot to the tower at 6:40 a.m. suggested there had been a fight onboard, but it turned out to be a tiff between聽flight聽attendants.

Raleigh-Durham police determined that no blows were exchanged and no one was arrested.

United spokeswoman Christen David says the two employees were removed and the聽flight聽re-staffed. David said the Chicago-based airline is conducting an internal review and that the argument was not physical.

Some passengers were placed on other聽flights, and David said United would compensate passengers for their inconvenience.
